I'm sorry, but China's target is 2025-2027... 9 months or 2 years? it doesn't mean much to Mainland semiconductor manufacturing equipment companies... all the basic process stuff is almost done...
Chichuang North and Beijing Electric Power Research Institute jointly built, the integrated circuit design and testing pilot base was completed and put into trial production
on November 11, Beijing Electronic Science and Technology Vocational College (referred to as "Beijing Electric Power Institute") and Beijing Jichuang North Technology Co., Ltd. (referred to as "Jichuang North") held a strategic cooperation agreement signing and integrated circuit design. Completion and trial production ceremony of the test pilot base.
According to the news of Beijing Electronic Science and Technology Vocational College, the operation of the pilot base project can meet some of the test capacity needs of Chichuang on the one hand, and on the other hand, it can cultivate professional talents in a targeted manner. School-enterprise cooperation courses, building an internship training base, jointly building a high-level teaching team, and building an industry-university-research service platform to carry out pilot exploration and cooperation.
It is reported that the pilot base will complete functional tests of no less than 100 million chips every year.

Nikon my guess
Yes,
That's good, but it's still better to keep them for a while so semiconductor don't get hit so hard at the same period of time.
Weichong Semiconductor, a R&D and manufacturer of semiconductor testing equipment, has completed two rounds of financing of tens of millions of yuan
Recently, Weichong Semiconductor has completed tens of millions of yuan in Pre-A+ rounds and Pre-A++ rounds of financing. Among them, the Pre-A+ round of financing was exclusively strategically invested by SMIC Juyuan; the Pre-A++ round of financing was led by Linxin Investment, and Qi Capital continued to follow the investment. The financing funds are planned to be used for R&D investment, promoting the mass production of the first-generation products, and team expansion and construction.
According to public information, Weichong Semiconductor was established in 2021 and is headquartered in Shanghai. It is a research and development manufacturer of semiconductor testing equipment, which can realize non-contact, non-damage, online, rapid, and internal inspection of wafers, and accurately identify and locate wafer defects. . It is reported that in February this year, Weichong Semiconductor announced the completion of tens of millions of yuan in Pre-A round of financing.
I think that's what ICRD is for in Shanghai if I am not mistaken. A research institute that demonstrates proof of concept using domestic tools allowing other entities to piggyback off that to put it into commercial production. I think the success of AMEC/NAURA/Piotech/etc shows you that there has been alot of progress made and will continue to do so. We don't have much public info to gauge SMEE's success, but from what previous posters have said they do have units out for testing at ICRD and validated into a production line. Keep in mind though, it is one thing to have a working proof of concept and another to be in full scale production. Even if your product meets all requirements if you cannot produce enough volume and deliver it in a timely manner customers will go with somebody else.
So an Indian American is the one who drove the October 7 policy and the impetus behind it was a report from a consulting firm about SMIC 7nm (as I predicted) by another Indian American (D Patel). C'mon, show some solidarity for your fellow Asians, guys.
I tend to view these Washington claims with skepticism. I think it's more likely that asml's own lobbying pushed the Dutch govt to resist the pressure.
It's not clear to me what machines are considered to be capable of 14nm but not 10nm? That seems quite arbitrary.
I don't know what china can do to push the Dutch in the other direction. Pushing Japanese govt should be a lot easier.
So to prepare for the possibility that the Dutch buckles under pressure, smic simply just need to fast track as many of the latest arfi scanners as possible. Which they seem to already be doing.
Well this is where the pressure against tsmc and Samsung will really help Chinese suppliers. Now, you have two willing partner to work with you to escape American companies. That's more important for a software maker than anything else.
